WAGNER, BEETHOVEN, SIBELIUS

In the second half of the 19th century Richard Wagner and his supporters caused heavy commotions which led to a deep crisis of the classical music system. His reform theatre projects exceeded the framework of the contemporary standards and denied the principles of the past centuries. In this context, Tannhäuser is a revolutionary piece. The Overture – symphonic poem is still conform to the usual rules. In the Piano Concerto No. 3 Ludwig van Beethoven began to modify his opinion on the concert principle; he strengthened the functionality of the orchestra and tied the soloist part more to the orchestra setting. As model served to him partially Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor, KV 491. The Symphony No. 5 by Jean Sibelius is a piece of joy and triumph; in fact it originates in the depressive period of World War One, however its impact in view of the poetics of the Finnish composer is even atypically optimistic.
